Tendon injuries are one of the biggest challenges for athletes and coaches, but understanding how tendons respond to stress is the key to building resilience. In this episode, we break down the science of tendon adaptation and how to apply it in training.

What you’ll learn:
✅ Mechanotransduction – How tendons sense and respond to load at the cellular level
✅ Stress Shielding – Why improper loading can create weak, injury-prone tendons
✅ Stress Relaxation – How prolonged tension affects tendon stiffness and function
✅ Practical Programming – Eccentrics, isometrics, and plyometrics for stronger, healthier tendons

Whether you’re a strength coach, therapist, or athlete, this episode gives you the tools to optimize tendon health, prevent injuries, and improve performance.
